![A screengrab of text in which Geoff Barrow from Portishead answers a question:
Barrow answers: Did you ever imagine that your sonic experiments on Dummy would become the backdrop to so many romantic entanglements – and how do you feel about being the unsung hero of the 90s sex playlist? asks VerulamiumParkRanger
I’ve heard that people were going out, doing ecstasy, coming back, smoking spliffs and putting Dummy on. If you just listened to the music, you’d think: “That’s really chilled, man.” However, the worst thing that anyone can say about my music is that it’s chilled! That makes me throw up. They’re only listening to Beth [Gibbons]’s voice, not what she’s saying, which makes a huge difference. I’ve had people actually say “My daughter over there was made to your music”, and I’m like, “fuck off”. I can’t think of anything worse to make love to.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fatch45et3xo3adwd6yejbzb/bafkreidpcfdggjrc7hretdat5e6dl7a3ezxzv7nkaq2st5hsdlf6zsvtue)
